Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Since I'm running the Loch Rannoch Marathon I thought it would be good to try to raise some money for a great cause at the same time.  I have chosen to raise money for the Skye Mountain Rescue Team in memory of my friend Sian, who passed away around this time last year. 

She and her husband Paul were long-standing hill-walking buddies of mine, and the three of us shared many days (and some nights) on hills all over Scotland.  Skye was always a special place for us, with great memories from many different trips.  We were fortunate never to need the services of rescue teams ourselves, but like most regular hill-walkers, we have huge admiration for the volunteers who are willing to go out, often in atrocious conditions, to provide assistance to people who have got in difficulty.

Any donation you felt able to give would be much appreciated, and I will match the first £100 pounds that is raised, so if you could help get it over that target it would be brilliant.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
